Description from the seller
Zippo - US Army Great Seal Emblem - Brushed Chrome Finish - with original US display
Lot description
For auction is a classic and solid original windproof lighter from Zippo Manufacturing Company, dedicated to heraldry and the official symbols of the United States of America: the model "US Army Great Seal Emblem" (Great Seal of the United States).
The case presents the famous and robust Brushed Chrome finish, historically appreciated by collectors for its characteristic horizontal satin texture, excellent at hiding fingerprints and micro-scratches. The front panel is adorned with the application of a detailed three-dimensional metal emblem (emblem) with a glossy gold finish. The crest faithfully reproduces the Great Seal of the United States of America, also used as the official insignia of the US Army: the American bald eagle with outstretched wings, gripping arrows and an olive branch in its talons, topped by the circle of stars and protected by the central heraldic shield.
A piece of notable visual impact and strong collectible interest, ideal both for enriching military (Militaria) and American institutional themed collections, and as a sturdy everyday-use accessory.
